Of the seven I AM statements from Jesus in the Gospel of John, one of the most prolific is “I am the True Vine.” He names for us all the parts of His illustration: He is the Vine; God the Father is the Vinedresser; and we are the Branches. His explanation of the activity and necessity of the vine and the vinedresser to the branches is profound. He reminds us that we are to be utterly dependent upon Him in this life.
